Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠KiwiRail is seeking information from suppliers of engineered composite railway sleepers to help understand current market capability, manufacturing locations, product readiness, type approval considerations, and practical procurement options before any future Request for Tender is issued.

This Request for Information (RFI) is a market research and non-binding information gathering exercise only. It is not a tender process to select a supplier, and KiwiRail is not requesting pricing at this stage.

The potential future procurement may include engineered composite sleepers and bearers for track sleepers, turnout, lead and crossing bearers, bridge transoms, bridge runners and related bridge applications.

Respondents should refer to the RFI document, the KiwiRail specification T-SP-MM-60158 “Engineered Composite Sleepers”, and complete and return the attached Excel RFI Response Form by the closing date.
